It seems like there's more malware events happening over at Steam and others.
I don't have a solution to this, probably no one does, however, Valve/Steam (as an example) is a security bottleneck and a single point of failure, that's why on my end, on DEGA, I planned out a system where it makes it so that there would be a decentralized marketplace of security audits and would be clearly visible for each and every build of a game, handled by both players and/or hired firms.
Games/builds that don't have reviews would have a clear warning to all customers/users.
"This game's latest build has been reviewed by multiple known digital security reviewers.
You can see who these reviewers are, and check out their report."
